HELLO, My name is Carol and the photo is MAGGIE MAE....she is beloved Mastiff whom I had to put down today. Very Unexpectedly, I am having a hard time coping with the decision that I was faced with today. Maggie was the very 1st Pet that I have ever gone through such a rough ordeal with. How does one know when it's time to put your dog to rest? Did I do the right thing? Most say yes, the Vet said yes, so Yes is what I did.....my heart is aching, I see her face as if wishing she could speak her feelings to me. Should I have had her Medicated Up daily cause of my selfish reasons of not wanting her to go? She was 12...she had a hard time standing, but she stood....she had a hard time on the 4 steps outside, sometimes falling, but I'd pick up her back end and she would make in in.....she had daily accidents, not being able to control herself, but I'd get out the shampooer...today I took her in for a paw injury and it was a cancer growth that was very painful and making her start to limp......am I stupid here.....doubting what I had decided? She was the best loyal, loving, gentle dog Ever...She was my Shadow.....10 years ago she was taken from an abuser and given to me.....She thanked me over and over again...she had a great Life here....I never thought I would react this way.....the pain is overwhelming.....I love you and Miss you, My Gentle Giant Girl.
